Hill is pretty efficient and running the ball, he's a weapon.

With the Chiefs struggles against the run, he could tear them a new hole.

It won't be an easy game either way.

Oh for ****sakes!

You should start a “Taysom Hill or Mahomes” Deberg thread for your new crush. He just put up 78 passing yards against Denver, with a pick.

He’s inexperienced at QB. Our secondary is statistically pretty good at coverage, which lets the D play more guys closer to the LOS to negate his running ability. Spags is great at adaptive scheming, and running isn’t really the way to beat MVPat.

Could we lose the game, sure. We absolutely shouldn’t, however.

You guys are hilarious.

The bottom line here is that their defense is legitimately good. If the Broncos can shut them down like they did, so can the Saints.

The big difference is that they likely won't push the ball with Hill and limit his turnovers. His ability to make plays with his feet can cause problems for the Chiefs defense because you know, Frank Clark ****ing sucks.

Unless that's changed, which is entirely possible because it is CP after all.

Will Brees be back by the time we play the Saints?

So he's Lamar Jackson.

The Chiefs seem to do well at shutting down Lamar Jackson.

He's not Lamar Jackson. He's much bigger and stronger than Jackson.

Look, I'm not saying he's going to be able to beat the Chiefs.

But the Saints aren't going to be some pushover just because Taysom Hill is starting. They're a VERY good team, regardless of who is playing QB.

Seems about right.

And, while it remains to be seen with the new playoff format, most modern SB teams have the benefit of a bye.

If both the Chiefs and Steelers win out (I know unlikely) who would get HFA and the #1 seed?

Steelers - we lost to the AFC - they lost to the NFC (if both win out).

They have advantage just cuz they are from the NFC. GTFOH with that weak shit NFL.

Washington is playing better than the Raiders right now. If Alex Smith wasn't hurt earlier in the year, they likely win several more games. If not for the Jets' collapse, the Raiders are 6-6. The two teams are trending in opposite directions.

That's a stretch. The Raiders had one major dud, but have also looked very good at times.

Smith can barely complete a pass in that offense.
